As mentioned, a visual inspection of the rocker contact surfaces is the only reliable way to verify the rocker condition. If your rockers are shedding their chrome, it may show up as shiny chrome strips or flakes in your oil prefilter screen. If your alternator nut comes loose you'll hear a knocking sound from the left side engine case. You can look into the timing inspection window on the left side and see the flywheel itself wobbling around if the nut comes adrift. The threads on some of the alternator nuts are out of spec from the factory and will not stay tight even with the use of loctite. Nichols Mfg. has a double lock nut system that solves the problem.
